GeoEye-2 will set new standard!

› Camera: Most Advanced

‒ .34-meter resolution brings precise views

‒ Wider field of view

‒ Most accurate

› Spacecraft: Improved agility

‒ Control Moment Gyros

‒ Direct tasking and downlink

› Ground Architecture: Future Oriented Design

‒ Collection planning, production, exploitation and analysis, and dissemination technologies


Faster delivery of the most precise imagery enables clear and timely insight.

‒ Enables true 50 cm collection

‒ Optimized for regional high quality imaging

› The only <41cm commercial color constellation on orbit

‒ Shortest time to access

‒ Longest access times

› Supports mission and business critical applications


High Resolution Color Constellation

The only <41cm commercial color constellation on orbit

Making Investments To Maximize Platform

› Integrated Constellation Management ‒ Task GeoEye-1 and GeoEye-2 to maximize collection

‒ Most efficient collector of <50 cm imagery in the world

› Integrated Processing and Exploitation ‒ Extract insights from pixels within minutes of collection

‒ Leverage deep expertise in feature extraction and analytics

›Open Ground Architecture ‒ Able to run on commodity hardware or in cloud

‒ Enables us to support a variety of customer deployments


Elevating Insight – On-Demand


GeoEye-2 Webinar: Continuing Leadership in Imaging Expertise Kyle Schmackpfeffer

Director Commercial Optical Sensing Systems, ITT Exelis

Exelis’ Long History of Commercial Remote Sensing Solutions

› ITT Exelis provides sensor subsystems and imaging payloads for U.S. commercial remote sensing providers ‒ Designed and built the entire imaging payload

for IKONOS, GeoEye-1 and GeoEye-2

IKONOS: 0.7 m telescope and outer barrel assembly; pan and 4 bands MS sensor

GeoEye-1: 1.1 m telescope and outer barrel assembly; pan and 4 bands MS sensor

GeoEye-2: 1.1 m telescope and outer barrel assembly; pan and 4 bands MS sensor


› Focal length increased relative to GeoEye-1

‒ Enables GeoEye-2’s 34cm resolution from 681km altitude


Optical Telescope Unit / Outer Barrel Assembly


› Faster line rates than GeoEye-1 and minor design changes to improve image quality (noise, banding and streaking, etc.)

Sensor Subsystem

Data Processing Unit (DPU) Focal Plane Unit (FPU) Power Supply Unit (PSU)


› IKONOS vs. GeoEye-2 comparison…

We’ve come a long way….

Parameter IKONOS GeoEye-2 Improvement

Aperture 0.7 m 1.1 m 57% larger

Pan Pixel Pitch 12 mm 8 mm 33% smaller

Number of Pan Pixels ~14,200 ~42,500 200% more

Pan GSD at 681km 0.82 m 0.34 m 59% better

Swath at 681 km 11.3 km 14.5 km 28% wider

Max Line Rate 6,500 lps 24,000 lps 269% faster

Area Collection Rate 60 km2/s 118 km2/s 97% more

Payload Delivery

› On April 10, 2012, ITT Exelis announced that the GeoEye -2 imaging payload was delivered to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, Calif.
